With this project we wanted to achieve the following: 1) To develop a non-formal curriculum for professional drivers and transport personnel in the field of using the new generation tachographs; 2) To develop a new digital platform that will contain all learning material related to new generation tachographs and eco-driving, as well as the E-learning system intended for distance learning of professional drivers and transport personnel; 3) To upgrade the capabilities of participating organizations to perform vocational eduaction and trainings for their target groups, and to better connect with other stakeholders in the transport sector; 4) To promote green practices and sustainable development principles within the transport sector.
The partner consortium applied for this project because it saw the need to provide professional drivers and transport personnel with the possibility of vocational education and training in the field of using new generation tachographs, which would increase the level of quality of their work in the transport sector. The project addressed the following needs: 1) the need for a uniform way of using digital and smart tachographs with the aim of reducing potential device manipulations; 2) the need to create a new vocational education and training program for members of the target group; 3) the need for regional harmonization of the use of tachograph devices and harmonization of the new program with the European qualification framework; 4) the need to introduce new learning outcomes in the transport sector; 5) the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through learning about eco-driving.
